Study Description

Brief Summary

This study investigates the effect of two different techniques, stretching of the diaphragm and cervical level impulse technique C3-C4, in the possible spirometric changes, vital capacity (CV), maximum expiratory flow (PEF) and maximum expiratory volume (FEV). in relation to the secondary variables (age, physical activity, BMI, sex). the subjects of the study were informed and clarified doubts about it and its subsequent reading and signing of informed consent. The subjects were randomly selected to determine which intervention group they would belong to (G1: intervention group of the diaphragm muscle stretch technique, G2: intervention group of the cervical rotation rotation impulse technique C3- C4, G3: Combined technique G1 and G2, G4: control group.The evaluation technique is spirometry.The intervention protocol is as follows, first the pre-intervention spirometry is performed, then the corresponding technique (according to intervention group), then the post-intervention spirometry, the intervention technique and at 5 minutes, the intervention technique is performed.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Respiratory Disease	Procedure: Stretching the diaphragm muscle Procedure: Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4 Procedure: Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical rotation impulse technique level 3 and 4	N/A

Detailed Description

The objectives of the study are the following: 1. To evaluate the changes in the values of the simple spirometry after the application of the study techniques: muscle stretching technique of the diaphragm (G1), rotation impulse technique of the cervical level of C3- C4 (G2) and combined technique of both (G3); 2. Determine the influence of these on measurable respiratory parameters by simple spirometry; 3. Compare the spirometric values obtained after applying the study techniques (G1, G2, G3) and the control group (G4: simulation of a previous technique); and 4. Analyze the different variables measured (age, gender, weight, height, sports practice and body mass index) in the effects of the applied treatment.

Study Design

Study Type:

Interventional

Actual Enrollment :

152 participants

Allocation:

Randomized

Intervention Model:

Parallel Assignment

Masking:

Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)

Masking Description:

the masking of the evaluator has been obtained, measuring the association between the response variables at baseline and the intervention group, by means of the variance analysis (ANOVA), for each response variable separately. We have verified that there are no differences between the means of the responses at the baseline level in each assigned intervention group, so that masking at the level of the evaluator has been carried out correctly

Primary Purpose:

Treatment

Analysis, Evaluation and Comparison of Spirometric Values After the Application of the Diaphragm Muscle Stretch Technique and the Cervical Level Rotation Impulse Technique of C3-C4

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Stretching the diaphragm muscle The interventor places his hands on the last costal cartilages and the subject makes an inspiration and keeps his hands resisted in the expiration.	Procedure: Stretching the diaphragm muscle Place the hands on the last costal cartilages and maintain the ascent of the ribs in the expiration.
Experimental: Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4 The thumbs position the head in a double chin and then place it with neutral flexion-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.	Procedure: Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4 head to double chin position and then placed with neutral flexo-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.
Experimental: Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical ro combine both previous techniques.	Procedure: Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical rotation impulse technique level 3 and 4 The same initial position, hand placement and technique guidelines will be used, cited in each of the techniques performed in the "intervention 1" group and the "intervention 2" group.

Intervention/Treatment

Experimental: Stretching the diaphragm muscle

The interventor places his hands on the last costal cartilages and the subject makes an inspiration and keeps his hands resisted in the expiration.

Procedure: Stretching the diaphragm muscle

Place the hands on the last costal cartilages and maintain the ascent of the ribs in the expiration.

Experimental: Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4

The thumbs position the head in a double chin and then place it with neutral flexion-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.

Procedure: Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4

head to double chin position and then placed with neutral flexo-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.

Experimental: Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical ro

combine both previous techniques.

Procedure: Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical rotation impulse technique level 3 and 4

The same initial position, hand placement and technique guidelines will be used, cited in each of the techniques performed in the "intervention 1" group and the "intervention 2" group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

forced vital capacity [a week]
volume of air that we can exhale (quickly, sustainably and maximally) after a maximum expiration from the position of maximum inspiration. It is measured in liters (L).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Forced expiratory volume in the first second [a week]
Maximum expiratory volume in the first second. Volume obtained in the first second of the forced vital capacity maneuver.

Other Outcome Measures

Maximum expiratory flow [a week]
peak or peak expiratory flow obtained during the forced expiratory maneuver
